Default [ARB] Drastic Revelation & three more

More blue-aligned cards

First, and UB cascade bounce spell:

Deny Reality 3ub
Sorcery (C)
Return target permanent to its owner's hand.
Cascade


Pretty costly, but that is the common denominator of all cascade spells - pay more for the free cheaper spell.

Then a card that shares the type and first letters of both words in its name with the previous:

Drastic Revelation 2ubr
Sorcery (U)
Discard your hand, then draw seven cards, then discards three cards at random.


The ur combination is known for their ability to copy spells. First, we got Fork. Then Twincast. Then Wild Ricochet.

"Golden Xerox"(placeholder name) 5ur
Enchantment - Rare
When you play a multicolored instant or sorcery, you may pay 1. If you do, copy that spell. You can choose new targets for the copy.


And to close this batch, we have two Esper themed pieces. The etherium mages know their business very well, and have pretty good means of showing others their way.

First card is the Stormcaller's Boon from Intro Packs:

Stormcaller's Boon 2wu
Enchantment (U?)
Sacrifice ~ : Creatures you control gain flying until end of turn.
Cascade

Cascade when casting, and an ability that can ensure a lethal alpha-strike? Not bad at all.

I really like the Shieldmage, especially if it really prevents all damage, and not combat only.

I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.

Flash is still sexy. Fog on a stick is sexy too. I just wish that Wizards wasn't giving so much defensiveness to WU, we need more proactive/taxing/bureaucracy sort of abilities. Not this and Wall of Denial.

More dumb cards. This kind of makes me nestalgic for saviors of kamigawa or shards of alara when with every new card spoiled I didn't have to worry that every card was going to break the format. Come on, Clarion Ultimatium 2.0! .

I concur. However, here's another lock against the gargantuans that are Naya's creatures.

EDIT: Source?

Drastic Revelation... holy crap. If your opponent's hand is full, and you've got Megrim on the board and play this... you win.

The R/U card ticks me off a bit, cards in that color combination involve either target changing or random effects, rarely stuff that you want in multiples.
